Gaming chat app shuts down alt-right server, bans racists and neo-Nazis

Racists will have to find a new place to talk online. 

Popular voice and text chat app Discord shut down the alt-right server and banned accounts associated with the events in Charlottesville, Virginia this weekend.

Discord announced on Twitter today that it shut down a chat server associated with AltRight.com, a hate-filled, white supremacist website for the alt-right movement, and banned "a number of accounts" belonging to white supremacists and neo-Nazis who gathered in Charlottesville this weekend for the "Unite the Right" rally.
